Getting There



Monday 3rd September 2018

Today has mainly been about gig sets from ‘Laughter To Split Glass’. Already had a couple of thirty minutes. Best of both now merged to make a third set. In the coming days I’ll take another look with a view to doing at least four sets of twenty minutes each. I’m really chuffed that there’s so much material I can use for gigs. I’ve been quiet on the spoken word circuit this year. Reckon next year I’ll do more. Shit weather today so good to stay indoors. Sent info to Lisa at Tyneside Mind for Jarrow workshops. She says a colleague might be in touch with a view to me doing a taster session elsewhere. Been reading about rifts in Labour Party over anti-Semitism. Listened to ace live version of Invincible Girl by Bad Pollyanna. They totally rock. hopefully they’ll play Newcastle again very soon. Ok. 11.33 pm.


Tuesday 4th September 2018

Slow day. Can’t remember much of it. Copied up some stuff. Then had cheese sandwiches for dinner.  And some fruit. Then started reading ‘Writing through the Darkness’ for workshop purposes but fell asleep. When I woke up the headliner for Thursday’s Poetry Jam had unfortunately cancelled due to illness. Spent a while trying to get another guest, but no-one seems to be a suitable replacement. Tried more reading then national news time and Labour have accepted all the anti-Semitism clauses, but reserve the right to criticize middle-eastern policy. Switched it off after my sausage dinner and try reading the ‘darkness’ book again. Then off to the shop with copper and silver for dark chocolate. I stood in the doorway till the cashier counted it all. Back home, I checked messages. Missed Kirsten Luckins online, listened to a 1987 Rollins spoken word show. 11.33 pm.


Wednesday 5th September 2018

Only a couple of hours admin this morning. 90 minutes taken up on the terrifying prospect of a phrase being incorrect In ‘Laughter to Split Glass’. I ran it by Tony Gadd who says it works as intended, and came to that conclusion without my explanation, so I’m relieved about that. At the eleventh hour you can actually doubt the ability to spell your own name. I selected some lesson plans from the mountain and made notes on possible additional topics. After dinner more bike training. Found my way out the back of Beamish Hall over to Sunniside. Most of the route from mine is on tarmac – even the cycle path through Stanley. Good for autumn weather. So I’ll probably stay at Jen’s place after working on Terror in the Trees next month. Tonight I was too tired to do much. Had a look through expanded ANOMALIES. Hope I find time to complete it by Christmas. Evening class places are filling up nicely. 10.57 pm.


Thursday 6th September 2018

Backache after carrying bags of tinned stuff, like I’m stocking up for a nuclear holocaust. Did some admin before dinner – had a burger. Wrapped up a birthday present then online chats with Jenni. Shaved. Fell asleep on bus to Waddington Street Centre. Got posters printed out. Did some writing research. Read articles on politics. Had beef rogan josh and rice for tea. Selected poems for the jam. Despite being one poet down we had a mint event. Fantastic sets from Amy and Bogsey. Loads of top open mic. Thanks to Helen Steadman for buying a copy of ‘Free To Be Me’ and requesting a deluxe copy of ‘Anomalies’ for December. Thanks to Fergus for lift home. Stuffed my face with crisps and fudge and Red Leicester cheese on toast. Chilled out before bed. It’s been a good day. 11.26 pm.


Friday 7th September 2018

Read more anti-Corbyn bullshit, took measurements for zombie outfit and emailed my signed Terror in the Trees contract back to Beamish. House is fucking freezing. Won’t be putting the heating on until November at earliest. And only then if work goes well. Posted info online for Jarrow workshops. Sent out confirmations for Durham evening class. Desktop computer really sluggish at present. Started editing and uploading Poetry Jam pix at 6.30 pm. Went off to listen to a podcast at twenty past seven and came back at quarter to nine to find only five pix had uploaded. Process jammed. Had to do them individually. One minute and twenty seconds each photo. Ate fish fingers and grilled potatoes. Kettle chips and fruit. Not got much else done. Feel a bit rough, to be honest. Hope tomorrow’s better. 11.30 pm.


Saturday 8th September 2018

Shitty day. More financial hassles. Broken spoke in rear bike wheel would be - Sod's Law - cassette side of hub, requiring shop maintenance. Had a request for online correspondence course from long-term workshop participant. Was meant to be at Jen’s place tonight, but she says she needs to tidy up before my next visit. Pissed off that money is draining away and might not be replaced anytime soon. On the bright side, Scott Tyrrell added my visage to his excellent poetry map of UK. 10.50 pm.


Sunday 9th September 2018

Good ride to Beamish this morning, heavily weighed down with food for a visit to Jen’s place. Only 36 minutes from Beamish Hall to Bensham Road. Building work left a layer of dust all over the stairs and landing outside the attic room. Jen’s been tidying. We talked about books and Edinburgh shows. Watched a film about growing up in London during world war two, a bit of X-Factor then The Good Karma Hospital. Ate soup, peanut buttered toast, jaffa cakes, fudge and chocolate porridge. 10.07 pm.

  1. Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem.

So i became very sad and lost in life because my doctor told me there is no way for me to get pregnant this really make life miserable for me. until i came across a friend who told me about DR ODION from the Internet, how he has helped a lot of women with this similar problems that i am going through so i contacted him on: (drodion60@yandex.com) and explained to him. he told me all what to provide before he could cast a reunite spell to bring back my husband which i did and he sent a powerful prayer which i had to say at mid night while he cast the love spell. It was a miracle, 24 hours later my one and only husband came back to me and apologize for all he has done and told me he is fully ready to support me in any thing i want,i quickly call DR ODION and told him what was going on at that moment and he also prepared and sent me a herbal medicine which he said it will cure every unwanted diseases or infections that has been stopping me from conceiving then instructed me on how to use it before meeting with my husband.
